How to make Access use close to 100% CPU

Hi,
Very odd question for you. What could you make in access to Make your CPU run at 100%?

I assume you could use a loop of some sort. But, would you have it create records and delete them?
Ideas?

Just make it generate random numbers in an infinite loop. But you should be aware that if you have a multicore CPU, the standard Windows Task Manager will never show a percentage more than 1/(# of cores) for Access because it is not a multithreaded application.

Great idea. What a shame that it will only go on 1 core.

and yet some installations of OFFICE2010 are supposed to take advantage of the multicore for several of not all of the applications. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2363800,00.asp However, unlike Excel, Word, Powerpoint, I don't see Access specfically mentioned within the article.

Are you doing this as a stress test? And do you need to utilize every core?
